Xiao Shumiao burst into tears and rushed forward, her little head colliding with the bodyguard.
The bodyguard, having been jostled by Xiao Shumiao, was about to turn around to see what had happened when Xiao Shumiao grabbed his stun-baton wielding hand and bit down hard.
The bodyguard let out a scream of agony, loosened his grip, and the stun baton fell to the ground.
In pain, he gave a hard swing of his arm, flinging Xiao Shumiao away violently.
Xiao Shumiao staggered backward for several steps, and just when she was about to fall to the ground, she was caught in a pair of powerful arms.
Gu Junzhu clutched Xiao Shumiao in his arms, commanding coldly, “Attack!”
Gu Chi, along with two bodyguards, like wolves among sheep, swiftly overpowered the fully armed security guards who were over twenty in number.
From outside the window, the harsh sound of a siren rang out.
Beijing was known for its good public order. Incorporating such a massive brawl, a customer reported it to the police, and the patrolling officers dispatched rapidly, rushing to the scene.
Meanwhile, the hotel’s manager arrived belatedly.
On seeing Gu Junzhu, standing aloof among the injured groaning on the floor, the hotel manager turned pale and almost knelt, stammering, “Fi, Fi, Fi, Fifth Master?”
Giving him a cold glance, Gu Junzhu handed Xiao Shumiao to Gu Chi, crouched down, and helped Ye Xingbei into his arms, furrowing his brows, “How are you?”
Ye Xingbei shook her head, ” I1 m okay.11
Gu Junzhu examined her up and down, “Are you hurt?”
Ye Xingbei shook her head again, “No.”
“Yes!” sobbed Xiao Shumiao as she wrestled herself from Gu Chi’s arms to rush into Ye Xingbei’s, clutching her neck crying, “Mommy was hit on the back with a baton, it hurts! Daddy, save us!”
Lingyue, who was still being held by Ye Xingbei, had tear-streaked eyes. He bit his lip, lowering his head, “I’m sorry, Aunt Beibei. It’s because of me that you…”
His voice choked off as big teardrops fell to the ground.
He hadn’t cried since his grandmother passed away.
No matter how he was scorned by his stepmother, abused by those around him, he never cried.
Neither neglect, nor harsh words, slander, nor physical violence could make him cry.
Only love could move him to tears.
Mommy Shu’s arms were fragrant, soft, and warm.
When his mother passed away, he was too young to remember what it felt like to be held by her.
But being embraced and protected by Mommy Shu, he suddenly remembered the feeling of his mother’s arms around him.
It felt warm and comforting.
The warmth and comfort made him want to cry.
Xiao Shumiao had never seen Lingyue cry before, and seeing him shed tears made her cry even harder.
Ye Xingbei was distraught by the crying of both children and she hugged and comforted them, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Daddy’s here, Daddy will protect us. Xiao Shu, don’t cry. Xiao Yue, don’t cry either!”
In the eyes of the public, Gu Junzhu wasn’t able to check Ye Xingbei’s injuries.
But he could see that her spirits were high, and her body didn’t seem to have any major problems.
He helped Ye Xingbei and the two children to their feet and handed them to Gu Chi, glaring coldly at the hotel manager across from him, “So, Chu the Second’s getting gutsy, even daring to touch my wife and child!”
The manager was sweating profusely, his legs shaking uncontrollably as he laughed nervously, “Fifth Master, Second Young Master didn’t know that you would be here. It’s all a misunderstanding…”
Before he could explain further, a team of police rushed up.
The manager’s face turned even paler. He quickly went to meet them and said to the leading officer, “Leader Lee, we’re all friends here. We just had a bit too much to drink and had a little misunderstanding. I won’t trouble you guys!”
